34 housing is larger then 33 housing. (edit: REAR housing)

Id LOVE a 34 housing lol............

I ve seen the above comment made a couple of times and would like to know just exactly where they are different.

I'm mid way thru a DIY Split dump pipe setup on my S2 Neo (so would be an R34 turbo) and I have installed my mates rear housing from his R33 because he had already done the hard work of putting in the divider between the wastgate and turbine. I honestly couldnt 'see' any difference in size.

Was I wrong to do this?

He has also gone to a lot of effort to machine out the housing from the turbine blades out to the edge of the housing.

Not bad for a stocko phone camera.

P.S. Tangles I may have the 34 housing you're looking for....

the one on the right looks bigger to me

I think it is just that the R34 original housing is further away in the photo.

On the far left you can see the divided flange I bought and it matches perfectly with both housings around the inside edges.

I suppose the proof of what works best, will be in the pudding.

ATM I am running the standard dump pipe on the new (divided) housing so it sounds like passing wind when the wastegate opens...quite embarrassing really. :angry:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
